Preston have admitted that they have increased their offer for Tranmere striker Iain Hume, after already having had one bid rejected.
Following the departure of David Healy to Leeds, the Canadian International was earmarked as a possible replacement and he's one player that David Kelly will know very well.
The youngster, who turned 21 on Sunday, is Rovers leading goalscorer so far with seven, including the second goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Port Vale.
It remains to be seen when Tranmere, who harbour very realistic ambitions of promotion, to leave no doubt it all depends on the cash being offered.
As yet there is no official comment from the Prenton Park club, but North End have admitted that they are "very hopeful" that they can get the deal done.
Preston are also set step up their chase for Bristol City defender Clayton Fortune, after having a loan move turned down.
Scouts were at Ashton Gate on Tuesday to watch the 21-year-old but City boss Brian Tinnion has declared that the youngster is not available.
